About salary thresholds
From April 2024, the UK government increased the general salary threshold for Skilled Worker visas from £26,200 to £38,700. This is one of the most significant changes to the immigration system in years.
| Route | Standard | New entrant |
|---|---|---|
| Skilled Worker | £38,700 | £30,960 |
| Health & Care Worker | £29,000 | £23,200 |
The actual minimum salary for your role may be higher than the general threshold if the “going rate” for your specific occupation code exceeds it. Always check the going rate for your SOC code.
